Follow-up Comment #2, bug #66438 (group groff):
> Unfortunately, the `\{1,\}` solution you propose is also not a POSIX BRE.
Hmm, okay, I did not read the POSIX spec/standard (yet?). But this whole
basic
vs extended RE business is really unfortunate in my opinion. I always
struggle,
everytime I write an expression.
And, to be honest, I misinterpreted the man page of my mac os/bsd(?) `expr` as
if the bounds notation `\{1,\}` _would_ be BRE.

You mean, soemthing like this hint from the re_format man page?
"Also note that ‘x+’ in modern REs is equivalent to ‘xx*’"

Haha, yes, sorry. I just double clicked on the hash and pasted it.
